Help with site layout/image positioning

Hello, I am new to the site. I decided to sign up because I have been having trouble in my Web Design class and I have been falling behind.

My current issue is that I don't understand how to position images I've made to create a page layout. I've seen it done in HTML and in CSS, but they both confused me since I haven't seen any with image URLs. I have three images, a header, body, and footer. I always wanted to make sure that the text stays within the image such as the body tag... ect
FYI The header already on the page is just a place holder so it doesn't look too empty, its not the header I am using. An example of what I want my website to look like is here: http://sws.mnstate.edu/redmanad/266/...nt6/index.html except with the navigation bar showing on the nav image bar right under the header and there will be text in the footer.

Also, if there is any unneeded code or anything that would become problematic I would like it pointed out. Thanks. Sorry if that is too much explanation of what I needed help with, I am just really confused. Some examples of positioning images to create page layouts would be nice.

I think the best answer I can give you is that with chrome, there is a great inspect element tool (better than ff :P - based on opinion though)
right click on the page --> inspect element

essentially you can pretty much copy the code of your "example"
I don't think it would do any good just writing the code for you.
There's no easy A, and beside the code is mostly outdated, so if a user wrote it for you, it wouldn't be believable

as of now, I think you should try to work out the problems individually, posting threads on things that you don't understand (though if you have an example, then you can just copy the entire code...)

Thanks everyone, and I understand that you can't do the work for me, aha. I can sort of understand the header background image part, but the Div issues have been confusing me. I centered the "About the Site" because I found that on each page of the site the very first text was off centered way to the right. I thought this issue was because of the drop down menu div somehow so I created its own div for the body but it didn't seem to change much... Making the "About the Site" a header and centering it was a temporary solution so it didn't annoy me.

I will toy with it a bit more later since I have more homework. If I come across a problem I will make a post about it. Thanks!
